About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at University of Leeds’s Visualization and Computer Graphics (VCG) group, supervised by Dr. Rafael Kuffner dos Anjos, and Prof. Gordon Love.

My current research interest lies at the intersection of human visual perception, computer graphics, and XR. Broadly, I enjoy exploring interactive systems that are user-centered, visually compelling and grounded in empirical studies of perception and behavior.

Previously, I received my MEng in Computer Science from Cornell Tech and BSc in Computer Science from University of Nottingham. I’ve conducted research under Cornell XR Collaboratory and Texas A&M VVAI Lab, focusing on XR interaction and system design.
